Mashed Parsnips

Ingredients

• 1 kg Parsnips
• 50 g Butter
• 0.5 tsp Salt (Or to taste)
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (Or to taste)
• 60 ml Cream (Optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

1. 1Wash, peel, and chop the parsnips into 1-inch pieces.
2. 2Place the parsnips in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes, or until very tender.
3. 3Drain the parsnips well. Return them to the pot. Add the butter, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or pass through a food mill or ricer for a smoother texture. If using a food mill, discard any stringy parts that remain in the mill.
